Hi from Adie

[Adie]

Hello everyone, I am new to Vaping (if that is the correct term), well 5 days to be exact,. Smoked a pipe for the last 40 years with the intention of quitting but i enjoyed smoking my pipe so why quit. A friend introduced me to the vape couple of weeks ago, but again if it was in the form of a cigarette i would not be interested, so searched on the net for an alternative for a pipe smoker and found the OH Pipe 618, so i got one and now i vape that. Like all others who are new to scene, ignorance of it cost me, so i have had to do some learning that i don't mind but alas there are things that I don't know and need some knowledge of, so please indulge what may seem silly questions and just remember i'm new to it. The strength of the juice i use is 24mg.
1 . on my bottom lip, it has become sore, only since i started, so is my e juice too strong or a reaction to one of the ingrediants?
2. some e juice i've purchased does not seem to vape, i think it is too thick, can i add distilled water to it?
3. another e juice is too strong for me (makes me sneeze). can i mix it with another as an additional ingredient to taste?
4. is there a supplier, who can supply me with extra batteries and atomizer, or is it a case of having to buy another pipe.
well thats the immediate thoughts that come to mind, so i will end this by saying hi to everyone.

Hi Asdie and welcome ,

1.This may be a reaction to pg liquid some people are sensitive , try a higher ratio vg liquid

2. better to thin liquid with vodka , however bear in mind this will reduce your nic strength and will also dilute flavour

3. fire away , thats all part of the fun , experimentation in mixing flavours

4. not familar with your pipe so googled it , 18350 batts are available at most vendors and it seems you use a 510 carto in a tank again widely available , boge cartos are a good choice you will need a carto punch to make the holes in your carto , do a search on the marketplace for 510 cartos etc should pull up plenty of options .

Hi Adie and welcome. When I started vaping, after the first couple of weeks, I got a sore mouth (lips, tongue and under my nose) but I persevered and it soon cleared up. You have to remember that your body has now got to adjust to having something its not used to. Nobody enjoyed their first cigerette lol. You might also find that you feel thirsty all the time too, that will also pass, just make sure to drinking plenty water.

to POTV

1 . As previously said it could be a reaction to PG
2. Again adding vodka will help thin it out but I personally use 50PG/50VG which is a thicker mix
3. That is part of the fun, you could swap with some-one for a juice you like or mix it with something else you have
4. At the moment some vapers use a gentleman on Ebay here for batteries and atomisers are available through the POTV Marketplace too

Hope this helps, I am sure others will help out too
